After anticipating this for exactly two and a half years, precisely since January 2011 when Henry Cavill was first announced as our Kryptonian hero, the agonizing wait soon comes to an end. Years have turned to months, months to weeks, weeks to days... and now it's …

Yet another SUPER post on my favorite superhero!
Special thanks to Terrence for taking part on the Man Of Steel Countdown festivities. I love this post and especially his closing statement…
Is Man of Steel the beginning of a new era for Superman? I think so. It brings in a new era and with it a new hope. That is, afterall, what the “S” symbol stands for!

Comic books are modern mythology, in that they are modern man’s method of explaining the world around them through the fantastical.”
The above quote, written by the blogger known as witnessing101 in his Modern Mythology: What Superheroes Can Show Us About Humanity piece, eloquently expressed what comic…
